The Gopher Tortoise Council was formed in 1978 by a group of southeastern biologists and other citizens concerned with the decline of the gopher tortoise. The goals of the Council are: (1) to offer professional advice for management, conservation, and protection of gopher tortoises; (2) to encourage the study of the life history, ecology, behavior, physiology, and management of gopher tortoises and other upland species; (3) to conduct active public information and conservation education programs; (4) to seek effective protection of the gopher tortoise and other upland species throughout the southeastern United States.

Restricted to 5 copies outside of NRCS. This one-sided 32X21 hand-drawn Healthy Sagebrush Communities poster showcases how locally led, partnership-based, science-driven efforts can make great strides in conserving at-risk wildlife and America’s western rangelands. The threats, outcomes, data, and solution highlighted on the poster are derived from 15 years of research and conservation on the ground through NRCS’ Working Lands for Wildlife and its Sage Grouse Initiative. It shows the connections between people, the land, wildlife, conservation, science, and rural economies for a healthy sagebrush ecosystem. Enhancing private lands where sagebrush habitat is intact and sage grouse numbers are highest benefits agricultural producers and 350 other species that depend on it.
